I have a nomination for tool of the day
My neighbor and friend of 10 years, also a Delta pilot.
I have had an app in at Delta for over 10 years. I recently wanted to refresh my online app by updating my LOR'S. So I ask my "good buddy" if he would be willing to update his LOR for me. He says NO......Why?
Because 4 years ago, We went on vacation with him and his wife. A bareboat charter. Because we had planned it for over 6 months and I couldn't get the week off at my crappy regional, I called in sick.
So he can't "in good conscience" recommend anyone who would abuse sick policy.
THAT is where the term "douchbag" originates from

Curious now... Does one need to update LORs. Have many written during the lost decade when we were snubbed by everyone.

Should he write a note to DAL HR mentioning your name and sick leave abuse... that would take DAL off the table for you. Call me Capt Obvious
